Who has 2 thumbs and lost a zillion pounds?

Me!

Hey ladies. I apologize for not updating in a bit. It's VERY hard to do all this on a tablet. I can't believe that my computer has been gone for five days now. My new one should arrive by Monday. That's five more excruciating days.

So... anyway.... today was my first official weigh-in. Woohoo!

When Alice initially weighed me last week, I was extremely confused, because she gave me a number that was crazy high. 7 pounds more than my home scale and the doctor scale showed. It made no sense. This morning when I weighed myself at home, I had lost five pounds on my scale. So when I went to get weighed in @Tanya's today, Rachel did a way more accurate reading - it was just 3 pounds more than my home scale - so by those calculations, I had lost 9 pounds. LOL. That's really not accurate. So, hey, let's  celebrate! Five pounds is amazing! I already feel so much better, and I definitely have a smaller stomach and smaller face!

Rachel looked over my food c hart and gave me feedback. She also clarified some questions I had, and she convinced me to buy Tanya's newest snack food: cookie dough! I'll let you know if it's good!

Today is a very very hungry day for me. It's been a bizarre day, because I keep being held up by phone calls and also by running into people. It's spring. People are out. I'm amazed at how my social circle has expanded quite a bit now that I have a yingele in cheder. The insane schedule of the past few days coupled with a broken computers means I had very little need or time to socialize online or even watch all the shows I usually do. I've been unbelievably busy! It's crazy! But great!

I arrived home to the news that my next door neighbor's daughter is engaged! She's barely 18. Now I have a vort to attend tonight! At least I'll have a lot of fruit to eat.

Rachel set a pretty ambitious goal for me: She wants me to lose 10 more pounds by Shvuos. Gulp!! I'm gonna try my darndest! I bought Tanya's cookbook too, and I'm FINALLY making that huge pot of lifesaver free veggie soup...

I bought some exercise equipment on Amazon, which I'll try out tonight and bli neder tell you about tomorrow.
